The war is not something that can be stopped, and the monks of the Shingon sect's imperial faction, Gemotoyama, wanted to compromise and ask the Date army to stop the invasion but could not succeed, and Masahiro began to prepare for the aftermath and returned to Tsurujo to make preparations, but it was so frightened that Toyama Castle thought that it was a precursor to a large-scale attack and was busy caging the castle in a panic, and did not mention it. The Date family broke off their plan to enter Bizen Province because of the killing of Kashisho Mototsune's son, and the Kanegawa Matsuda clan was already in chaos, and the contradictions between the close vassal faction and the foreign vassal faction became more and more intense, several important ministers were slightly injured in the mutual attack, Matsuda Motoki came to power through the power of the close vassal faction, and the foreign vassal faction could not believe his words no matter how Matsuda Motoki promised to treat the matter fairly, and the internal conflict had already reached the brink of fire. Due to the betrayal of the Golden Light Sect and the rebellion of Iga Kutaka, the foreign feudal faction itself has also reached the verge of collapse, and now the outbreak of the Kashisho Mototsune incident does not become a sharp sword for the outer feudal faction, and requires Matsuda Motoki to order Toyama Takahide to be responsible and severely punish the murderer.

The news that Kashisho Mototsune's son was slashed and killed by Toyama Takahide's retainer was passed on to the Date family by Iga Kutaka, Iga Kutaka said that he had a bad relationship with Matsuda Motoki, but after all, he was the retainer of the Matsuda clan, and the Iga clan had a good relationship with the Matsuda clan, and they had been married for generations, and they had many connections in Jinchuan Castle, and the news came more accurately, and most of what Date Masahiro learned was only the superficial news of Kanegawa Castle.

Toyama Castle was occupied by the rebels of Bei China, expelled by Date Masahiro, Kashisho Mototsune's son-in-law sneered at Toyama Castle for being incompetent, Toyama Takahide's retainers could not see the lesson and caused a large-scale conflict between the two families, in the conflict, Kashisho Mototsune's son-in-law was injured and died after being carried back, and the foreign feudal faction seized the opportunity to ask Matsuda Motoki to come forward to punish him, Matsuda Motoki dragged on for a long time, and the foreign feudal faction became more detached, and the conflict between the close minister faction and the foreign feudal faction became more intense, and several important ministers of both factions were attacked by each other.

Iga Kutaka knew more details, and the more detailed he was, the more disappointed he felt, originally if Matsuda Motoki could turn the tide and immediately arrest Toyama Takahide's retainers and set an example, he would still be able to take a high look. However, the indecision made the events more intense, and he was disappointed and a little happy. The relationship between Iga Kutaka and Matsuda Motoki has always been bad, and they have been at odds since they were each their sons, and now seeing that Matsuda Motoki is obviously partial to the retainers who protect Toyama Takahide when dealing with the contradictions between the Kōvassal faction and the foreign vassal faction, I can't help but deepen my belief in the choice he had no choice but to make.

Matsuda Motoki has no heroic posture at all in the eyes of Iga Kutaka, and he is even dwarfed by Date Masaki. Originally, if there was no Date Mashow to compare. Although the things that Matsuda Motoki did did not enter the eyes of Iga Kutaka. Just ascended to power, and can only rely on the close vassal faction to suppress the foreign vassal faction, which is also a way to be regarded as a helpless way. If you don't favor the vassal faction, you may not only abandon the hearts of the foreign vassal faction, but also lose the trust of the vassal faction, and the day of destruction is not far away. But things all at once came together. made Matsuda Motoki at a loss all of a sudden, which further demonstrated the ability of Deida Masaki.

The conflict between Kashisho Mototsune and Toyama Takahide intensified, and the conflict between Ryunoguchi Castle and Kanegawa Castle deteriorated instantly, and Toyama Castle became a dispensable chicken rib, and the wealthy families in the northern part of Bizen Kunitsutaka and the southern part of Majima County in Mimasaka Province gathered at Torakura Castle to ask Iga Kutaka how to deal with himself, and most of the wealthy families in the area were indigenous families. Others, like Iga Kutaka, came from outside the country and have been rooted in the area for hundreds of years, and have long regarded their families as indigenous families. If the southern part of Bizen Province's Ono County and Tsutaka County are considered the sphere of influence of the Konchen faction, the northern part of Tsutaka County and the southern part of Majima-gun in Mimasaka Province are mostly the territory of the foreign feudal faction, and Kamido County is the place where the foreign feudal clans of the Konsho clan are intertwined, and there is a large part of the Urakami clan.

Matsuda Motoki relied on the close ministers to ascend to the throne, and now he obviously favors the people from the near ministers, so that how can these wealthy families of the foreign feudal faction not be in danger, Kawahara Shintaro, Takamigen Uemon, Tsuchishi Commander and other wealthy families have found Iga Kutaka to discuss countermeasures. Captain of the Sugano Castle Lord's Tsuchishi Soldier, who had already fallen into Date Bullet's main hall, who had already fallen into Date Shota's hub, saw Iga Kutaka hesitate, took a few steps forward, and glanced at everyone. He said: "Igamaru Io, ladies and gentlemen, now that there is a civil strife in Kanegawa Castle, it is well known to everyone that Matsuda is a brave and incompetent general, not only the Matsuda clan. Even the wealthy families in the collar are not convinced. The siege of Toyama Castle by the mob shows the nature of the Matsuda clan, which is strong and middle-class, and the contradiction between Kashisho Mototsune and Toyama Takahide could have been turned into a big thing and a small thing, but in the end it turned into a bad incident in which the son of the leader of the Matsuda clan died in a fierce fight with each other. Now there are internal and external troubles. With Matsuda's ability to be close to the prison, can this chaos be quelled in a short time. Judging from the procrastination and favoritism of Toyama Takahide and others, it is very unoptimistic. Now the alliance in Jinchuan City will turn against each other, the safety of the lives of the important ministers is in danger, it is rumored that the close minister faction has been in close contact with the Tenjin Mountain Castle Urakami Zongjing, once the alliance is reached, the close minister faction will definitely be more unscrupulous, how should we deal with ourselves? ”

The sharp arguments and ingenious arguments of the Captain of the Tushi Soldier said that Iga Kutaka moved, and more appropriately, he moved the representatives of the wealthy clan beside him, Iga Kutaka was originally separated from Matsuda Motoki, and the internal strife of the Matsuda clan was beneficial to him a lot, Iga Kutaka was strong and was not afraid of the liquidation of Matsuda Motoki and the close minister faction, but the wealthy families present did not have his confidence, once the close minister faction leaned on the Urakami Sojing of the Tenjin Mountain Castle, with Matsuda Motoki as a puppet inside, and a strong and powerful arm outside, it would be even more unscrupulous, It is even more handy to pick up these soft persimmons of them.

Their faces turned pale suddenly, and they seemed to have felt the scene of the thieves who ate meat and did not spit out bones at them, and finally swallowed all the bones of their belts.

Iga Jiulong looked at the talking Tushi Lieutenant and smiled slightly, he agreed with the words of the Tsuchishi Lieutenant, but he didn't believe that the Native Bun Captain of the Tushi Soldier from the countryside had this insight, and he could say that he could talk about it, there must be a master behind him, he thought about it and knew where this master came from, but he didn't break it, he had a bad relationship with Matsuda Motohui, of course he would like to see this situation happen, among which his strength is the strongest, and when the time comes, he will still take him as it when they advance and retreat together, why not. Without saying a word, he half-closed his eyes, as if he was unfathomable.

Takamigen Uemon always paid attention to Iga Kutaka's expression, and just heard the words of the Tsuchishi Commander, and saw the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, although the movement was very small, it was still difficult to escape his sharp eyes, and then glanced at the Tsuchishi Commander who pretended to be mysterious after talking about it, he could see that there must be a master behind the Tsuchishi Commander, and this master must be Iga Kutaka, so when he thought about the relationship between Iga Kutaka and Matsuda Motohui, he couldn't help but think about whether Iga Kutaka wanted to rebel against the Matsuda clan and stand on his own. The strange thoughts became more and more real, and when he looked left and right, he leaned into the ears of Kawahara Shintaro, who also understood, and the voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it: "Shintaro, you see, now that the situation is obvious, Iga Mamoru really wants to stand on his own, if we don't agree, I'm afraid it's ......"

Kawahara Shintaro was stunned, he had already reflected from the words of the Captain of the Tsuchishi Army, and now when he heard Takamigen Rightemon's statement, he showed such a look, but when he heard that Takamigen Rightemon actually proposed the idea of setting up his own door, he was still a little shocked.

Seeing that he was silent, Takamigen Youemon was a little anxious, and now in this situation, if he doesn't take the initiative to agree, I'm afraid that Iga Jiutaka will tear his face and ask for a knife and axe, he couldn't help but urge: "Shintaro, every time there is a big event, there is calm, but it also needs to be decided!" Now that Kanegawa Castle is like this, it will be difficult for you and me to be close to the courtiers, and Iga Mamoru seems to have made up his mind, if we don't agree, even if we leave Torakura Castle safely today, but Iga-samaru Iga Mamoru is not a person who measures magnanimity, and I will definitely find an excuse to punish you and me......"

Shintaro Kawahara and Takamigen Uemon muttered, and the other wealthy families also discussed it on a small scale, and most of them looked hesitant, obviously not knowing what to do. Shintaro Kawahara clenched his fists tightly, and he whispered, "It's done!" Takamigen Umemon's eyes narrowed: "Sure enough, it's Shintaro." After saying that, the two of them mentioned that the wealthy clans present formed an alliance and advanced and retreated together, and the leader of the alliance was Iga Kutaka.

In the troubled times of the Warring States Period, the land was even stronger, and every daimyo and wealthy family, in order to satisfy the land of the samurai at home, went out to fight around to seize more land, and only by constantly winning and seizing the land could the prosperity of the family be maintained, so that once the land was lost, it would be a qiē to nothing.

Kawahara Shintaro and Takamigen Uemon's Tiyì was immediately approved by everyone, and although the Captain of the Tsuchishi Soldier was dissatisfied, he knew that things had to go step by step, so he also expressed his approval, and Tiyì immediately signed a blood alliance, with Iga Kutaka as the leader of the alliance. On that day, the wealthy clans of the northern part of Bizen Kunitsutaka County and the southern part of Majima-gun of Mimasaka Province reached a blood alliance at Torakura Castle, and Iga Kutaka secretly reached an agreement with the Captain of the Tsushi Soldier at the behest of Iga Kutaka and sent an envoy to Tsurujo.

At the same time, a fierce conflict broke out again in Jinchuan Castle, and Matsuda Motoki, who had completely lost his will, had already been exhausted by the conflict within Matsuda's family, he was a very ordinary man, with a gentle temperament, good at pleasure, and not intelligent, and there was no way to achieve a delicate balance between the close vassal faction and the foreign vassal faction like his father Matsuda Motomori. After the conflict intensified, the retainers actively supported Matsuda Motoki, looking like a loyal minister, and at the same time asked for help from Urakami Sokei of Tenjin Mountain Castle, betraying the interests of the Matsuda clan to protect their personal interests.
